hi in a new member now I would like to know which trim its the best to buy the touring package or the sport package ? im looking forward to boosting the engine but im curious which trim has the LSD ? and which trim would you buy? in terms of performance thanks!! here in Puerto Rico Seems I dont have Any support?thanks again!!

Touring = leather trim, leather/heated seats, Bose stereo, 18x8 front wheels, 18x9 rear

Sport = VLSD, spoiler, 19x9 front wheels, 19x10 rear, sync rev, bbk

If you plan on doing that work sport is your best bet since it already has a bbk. You can always get both options but if you can only afford one sport sounds good for you.

Edit for wheel specs

Hi

[ElvinGTS-T]

thanks Guys wow!! quick response !! because of what you mentioned im More oriented to the sport trim or if I sell my lancer gts 2008 turbo Ill go with the nismo

You know boosting a Z is like 12K installed with everything... So keep that in mind of budget is a thing. The sport 370z is like 8-10K cheaper then a Nismo

I dont worry about the turbo set up much.... you see.. I did mine my lancer gts turbo by my self and the tunning was with the help of a friend so I wouldnt mind boosting the Z my self but im a bit concerned about the wright trim to buy?? up to now im more into the sport trim bit I realized the sport trim dones not have the big brame caliper kit

[diddy535]

If you meant big brake calipers, the sport comes with the biggest standard option, 14" front rotors 4 piston calipers and rears 13.xx" 2 two piston.

Edit: realized you're in Puerto Rico, the trims options may be different than those in the US

If you are boostin it then it doesnt matter what model you go with.

You are comparing apples to coconuts my friend... Turboing your Lancer vs Turboing a VQ motor. Let us know how it goes. I can tell you there are only a couple GOOD tuning shops in the U.S that can effectively tune the Z motor so you don't detonate the engine.

You know the compression on the Z is 11:0:1 if I'm not mistaken. Your lancer was probably like 8:5:1 or 9:0:1 and if you blew that engine up a new one would cost a couple hundred.

I don't know you but I'm going to give you my 2 cents and say you may be over your head on this one.

yep know exsactly what you mean .....you see my grandpa was a mechanic my dad used to boost cars and I I'm a certified mechanic so beleive me I KNOW WHAT IM GETTING INTO the only point on this thread is the fact I know so less about nissan trims that I'm a bit confused about the wright trim to buy you see here in Puerto Rico the touring package has the big brakes the leather interior and the 19 inch wheels now it seems the trims change as one of you mentioned depending on the country what I'm really interested is on the one that had the VLSD that's the one that's got me confused. BTW I know how to boost an engine ..... cauze I used to work on that many years ago but I'm out of practice know and I need your help to make me understand this cars and the best trim to mod thanks again !!!

Wait are we talking about "boosting cars" or "adding boost to cars" haha

Whatever you decide to go with you will enjoy it, it is an awesome car.
